AGP 1X only shown

[nehalmistry]

when i use the program pcilist, it shows that the millg200 supports agp2x but the motherboard supports only 1x. I know for a fact that the motherboard supports agp2x. can someone help me.??? Its a P5A-B by www.asus.com

I sort of have this problem too. Although i think scince G400's are ONLY 2x/4x, they have to run at those speeds with the motherboard. Remember, 2x AGP is a minimum requirement, so it should be running at that. Maybe something unimportant is reporting it wrong. Help?

I have experienced the exact same problem with my PC. It is based on a Soyo EH5M board with a AMD K6-2-300 cpu and a MystG200 graphics card. I am afraid that I don't know the solution to our problem but maybe you can see some common traits in our configurations. Do you also use a K6?

That usually means that it thought that your PC was a bit too noisy electrically for agp2x, so it fell back to agp1x.

If you feel you are being cheated, go to the MURC utility downloads and get the PD 5 registry hacks. Install the forceagp2x.reg one. However, it is possible that it will crash with 3d gaming because somthing in your system made it think that it cannot handle agp2x.

[nehalmistry]

yes, i do have a amd-k6 300 proccesor.
i tried forcing agp2x from the registry hacks but it did not do anything. i am using 5.30 drivers.

any other solutions. i really wanna get this working to 2x.

[DuRaNgO]

the via chipset also stated that it would do 2x, but many versions would not (out of three via boards I ran, only one did 2x)

I'm not sure if it's the same with your ali chipset as I never owned one of them

yo dude, u gotta be more specific, ur giving me 3 sites. the asus one has many text files. Tell me what YOU did to fix your problem.

I had the same problem: My Asus P2B/Millennium G200 combo showed AGP x1 using PCIList.

I got it to AGP x2 by using the PD5 registry hack. (downloaded here from MURC). PCIList now shows AGP x2.

I did not encounter problems until now. Performance did not improve significantly (still have to run Unreal in 640x480/16 bit colours to keep framerate acceptable)

Nehalmistry - the registry hack probably didn't work for you because your Matrox card may be in a slightly different registry location. The reg hack assumes your card in is the directory "..../display/0000/...
In many cases that's just your standard VGA adaptor. Matrox is probably in 0001. Check your registry to determine the matrox location and then "right click" the reg hack and choose "edit". Change the 0000 location to the appropriate value, save/close then give it a try.

[nehalmistry]

actually i checked it manually and there was only display/0000
also, could it be motherboard settings because pcilist shows the 3dcard is fine but the motherboard is 1x agp... ???

[bigluker]

Here's my experience with this little defect.

PCIlist only showing AGP 1x
HOWEVER

"Adapter supports up to 2x transfers"
"System Board Supports 2x transfers"
"AGP 1x transfers enabled"

So, my MoBoard supports it and my g400 supports it, what gives right? So, i download pd5x hack and i force it to 2x. I go to reboot...windows doesnt wanna load. Windows crashes upon launch. I get some funky lines across the screen when she locks up, so i totally freak and nearly wet myself, boot in safe mode and reset defaults. Im going to try 3d now with my breath held...

[nehalmistry]

ok. maybe im not making myself clear.
when i use regsitry hacks. nuthin hapns.
and it doesnt show agpx2 for motherboard but shows agp2x for card.... what im saying is that the card is causing the motherboard to slow down to agp 1x.... when i used my g100, it showed that the card was agp1x(which it is) and the motherboard was 2x(which it is)... a little HELP???
